 		In the book there are a few more examples of how the caduceus relates.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
what does the shape remind you of...something we have been looking at throught the game


The big one I think is to solve the magic square. "this is the beginining of the ancient word" is the clue to the solve......

 		So, the Romans invented the caduceus as a coded symbol representing DNA? Then why not send us to the constellation, Ophiucus instead of Scorpius?

The only thing that jumps immediately to mind regarding , "This is the beginning of the ancient word" is the obvious, "Popol Vuh".

 		Third Puzzle?
Has anyone figured out the third puzzle or are you guys passed that?

It looks like I Ching or morse.

The Popol Vuh does play a role in the book, though I'm not sure how it translates into a puzzle in this context.

What was really interesting from the book is that it mentioned that the Popol Vuh is not the only old text that points to the language of God in our DNA and such theories.

The Popol Vuh is directly related to solving the magic puzzle, I am pretty sure, but will double check the book later this morning.(AKKK just noticing the time)

but that is not the final solve............there is another step from there, be we aren't anywhere near that point I am sure, but the page is out there.

Sorry. I read through that entire thread, but didn't know that was for puzzle 3. I'm just trying to get up to date.

 		Magic Square revisited
thinking out loud ...
Franklins Magic Square
260
260 = days in human gestation
260 = the 260 day calendar

Popol Vuh
Sefer Yetzirah = Book of Creation - 22 (days)
I-Ching - 64

"The Usprache, as it has been called, was believed to be the language that God used to breathe life into his creations."
(The Handwritting of God?)

Sepher Jezirah "ladder formed of truths" - Eliphas Levi -Book of formation (Ladder - DNA strands?)

64 codons found in groups that code for 22 specific genetic letters
3 letters in each codan

3 - triad: trigrams - I Ching, Triads - Hung Society - Lien Meihui (btw - what ever happened to her?)

Heaven above, heaven below ... the number 64 hexigram in the I-Ching is made up of the heaven above and heaven below trigrams
Also reference to The Emerald Tablet - Hermes

The mask, Scorpius, Qian Tomb?
Also interesting is that Ambergris' father was Francis Crick

I can't figure any other way to get a key out the the magic square. The only other thing I've found was if you rotate it where the number 54 is - it will still be in the same place.

Well that's what's been rolling around in my head anyway ... Laughing

 		Could the numbers in the magic square possibly point to letters or words in the Popol Vuh? (http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Popol_Vuh)

Took a quick look but nothing jumped out.

 		I am sure that from clues in the book, we are supposed to use the Popol Vuh to decode the 260 magic square. This will then give us the key to decipher the longest dna sequesnce on the triad site. I have not yet figured out how.....

 		Okay, I'm getting lost again.
Are you talking about the magic square on http://www.triadgenomics.com/research.html ?

Could the page from the Paris Codex be of any use in this respect?
http://www.triadgenomics.com/Tonalamatl.html

And, It's not looking good for the San Mateo event, for me.
Maybe someone else can make it.

Which dna sequence? the one on here? http://www.triadgenomics.com/260.html ?

Here is the decoded version of that one..

Quote:

Texts and treatises he collected during his travels around the world.
The breadth of his knowledge and the range of his interests were truly impressive.
His collection is most remarkable. I have found manuscripts and scrolls from ancient Egypt, Mesoamerica, the fertile crescent,
and the far East. One of his prized acquisitions was the original manuscript of a rare Qabalistic text, the Sefer Yetzirah.
It is the oldest book in the Hebrew occult tradition, also known as the Book of Creation.
Its fragile pages rest in a leather folio in my fathers study, alongside a English translation written in his handwriting.
The Sefer Yetzirah describes how Yahweh created the universe and all living things within it using the twenty-two letters of
the Hebrew alphabet. It explains that God molded the letters as bits of clay into parallel and complementary strings.
Parallel and complimentary strings like the intertwined strands of DNA in the double-helix.
The Sefer Yetzirah tells us that God created all living things using the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet by molding the
letters as bits of clay into parallel and complementary strings. The sixty-four unique codons of our genetic alphabet are always found
in groups that code for twenty-two specific genetic letters. Shall we accept this as mere coincidence? I cannot.
The codons of DNA are made up of three genetic letters. The Hebrew language is based on root words from which nouns, verbs,
adjectives and all other grammatical variations derive. For reasons no one has been able to explain, these Hebrew root words are made
up of three letters. Like the three genetic letters in each codon within our DNA. My father recorded in his notes that
Eliphas Levi, the famous French Occultist, wrote that the Sepher Jezirah is a ladder formed of truths. I cannot help but observe that
the double-helix of our DNA is often described as having the appearance of a twisting ladder. Were Hebrew mystics and scholars
unknowingly passing along an ancient knowledge which they could not understand? Who taught them this knowledge?
My father once said that books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
What other secrets, hidden by ancient scholars in the writings of humanity's oldest civilizations, are waiting to be discovered,
concealed in dusty volumes, slumbering, untouched, unread?




Is there another one I don't know about???

1: hehehehe.. silly, it's not spoilered in Your reply..

and

2: This isn't news to me.. which is why I was like.. huh? She can't be talking about this code..


ummm.. I hate to break it to you... really...

but this was decoded by me.. and posted.. waaaay back on July 12th
in the original thread..

Here.. looky.. it's the 1st post on page 27 (of 37).

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19957&start=390

As for "How" it was done...
